Marco Ansaldo"Mare nero"Sei paesi, le leggende, la guerraMarsilio Editoriwww.marsilioeditori.itConfine sensibile dell'Impero romano, scenario di espansione dei domini commerciali genovese e veneziano nel Medioevo, teatro di guerra nell'Ottocento e protagonista del nuovo ordine globale nel xx secolo, il Mar Nero è oggi un'area cruciale dello scacchiere politico. Non è solo, infatti, il centro del conflitto tra Russia e Ucraina, ma anche il crocevia di interessi mondiali di primaria importanza. Con gli strumenti del cronista e lo sguardo curioso del viaggiatore, Marco Ansaldo ci guida attraverso i principali paesi del «grande lago salato»: da Odessa e dalle coste martoriate dell'Ucraina a Varna, in Bulgaria; da Batumi, in Georgia, dove in estate si affollano i vacanzieri all'ombra della minaccia russa, alla Romania, cerniera sottile tra l'Europa e le sue periferie orientali. L'itinerario tocca anche l'Abkhazia, territorio rivendicato dalla Georgia ma proclamatosi indipendente, e la Crimea, obiettivo delle mire espansionistiche di Putin, per arrivare a Trebisonda, da cui la Turchia lancia le sue migliori navi da trivellazione alla ricerca di giacimenti di gas. Il risultato è un racconto sorprendente fatto di scoperte e incontri, di grande letteratura e personaggi inattesi, in cui spesso il frastuono dei combattimenti cede il passo all'eco delle leggende che tutt'oggi popolano il Mar Nero. Mitologia e geopolitica, guerra e pace si mescolano e alternano di continuo in questo bacino: se ogni nazione che vi si affaccia vive il proprio passato come un presente incandescente, è dalle sue acque scure che forse emergerà anche il nostro futuro.Marco Ansaldo  (1959), già inviato speciale de «la Repubblica» per la politica internazionale, oggi è analista geopolitico, consigliere scientifico di «Limes» da Istanbul, vaticanista per «Die Zeit» e consulente de La7 per il programma Atlantide. Ha insegnato all'Università Luiss e ha collaborato con Rai Radio 3. Alla Turchia ha dedicato tre libri (Chi ha perso la Turchia, Uccidete il Papa, Il caso Ocalan), una lunga serie di reportage e interviste, programmi in radio e in tv, conferenze e convegni, le voci dell'Enciclopedia Treccani e del Dizionario Utet, l'invenzione del Foro di dialogo intergovernativo fra Italia e Turchia.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Schlüsse aus dem Sieg der Grünen in Baden-Württemberg. Meteorit am Himmel über NRW. Prozessbeginn gegen Istanbuls abgesetzten Bürgermeister. Von Katrin Schmick.

Med sine bøker om sentrale figurer i norsk vikingtidshistorie, har Tore Skeie etablert seg som en av våre fremste historiefortolkere og -forfattere. Boka Hvitekrist ble hyllet av kritikere da den kom i 2018, blant annet for den detaljrike og grundige fremstillingen av Olav den Hellige og hans samtid – et litterært nybrottsarbeid som nyanserte de mange heltefremstillingene av kongen.I Hardråde møter vi Kong Olavs ikke-fullt-så-hellige halvbror Harald «Hardråde» Sigurdsson. For Hardråde var veien til makten lang og overraskende verdensvid: Han reiste til noen av verdenshistoriens største imperier, fra Konstantinopel/Miklagard (dagens Istanbul) til Jerusalem og Kyiv-riket, og tok med seg erfaringene derfra inn i styret som konge. Han var kjent for sin brutalitet og imperialistiske ambisjoner, og endte sine dager i et fåfengt forsøk på å erobre England. I Hardråde blir dette enormt innholdsrike livet et utspring for Skeies dyptpløyende og litterære skildring av en kultur og en verden i endring.Siden utgivelsen, har Hardråde rukket å få begeistrede anmeldelser og mange entusiastiske lesere. En av dem er forfatter-kollega Trygve Riiser Gundersen, som møtte Skeie på Litteraturhuset til en samtale om Harald Hardrådes fascinerende liv og verden. Hosted on Acast.

Episode Notes This week on Dizi Friends, Maha and Eda explore a noticeable shift in Turkish television: Why do so many new series revolve around crime, violence, and mafia-style narratives? We discuss several recent projects, including: Aynı Yağmur Altında – A show that sparked debate due to a controversial early scene and its reliance on shock-driven storytelling. Sevdiğim Sensin – A series with emotional potential about a young woman rebuilding her life in Istanbul, yet framed within darker narrative elements. A.B.İ. – An age-gap romance entering an already crowded dramatic landscape. Yeraltı – Another love story built around a mafia-centered world. Rüya Gibi – A promising show featuring a refreshingly different protagonist (a hairdresser), which concluded at episode 13 as darker themes took over. We also briefly mention Eşref Rüya ** and discuss broader concerns about how excessive violence might influence younger viewers. This episode is not about criticizing individual creators. It's about recognizing a pattern. We ask: Why has “crime” in Turkish TV become almost synonymous with “mafia”? Is shock value replacing layered storytelling? Are audiences growing tired of violence-heavy narratives? And what does this trend say about the current state of the industry? Crime stories can be powerful. But does every story need a mafia backdrop? Join the conversation and tell us: Are you experiencing mafia fatigue too? Find out more at https://dizi-friends-podcast.pinecast.co

Adrian Ghobrial reports from Istanbul, Turkiye, where Canadians are anxious to leave the Middle East as violence grows; Canadians arriving back to Toronto say the United Arab Emirates helped get them on a flight back home; community members are calling for Toronto police to do more to fight antisemitism in the region; and more.

Mit dem Goldenen Bären wurde „Gelbe Briefe“ von İlker Çatak auf der diesjährigen Berlinale ausgezeichnet. Nach dem großartigen Lehrstück „Das Lehrerzimmer“ legt der Regisseur erneut ein Lehrstück vor; dieses Mal geht es um die schwindende Meinungs- und Kunstfreiheit in einem Staat, der immer autoritärer wird. Dieser Staat ist die Türkei – oder etwa doch nicht? Interessanterweise wurde der Film nicht in der Türkei gedreht, sondern die Szenen in Ankara spielen in Berlin, die Szenen in Istanbul wurden in Hamburg realisiert. Die deutschen Städte sind dabei deutlich zu erkennen. İlker Çatak arbeitet – ähnlich wie Bertolt Brecht – mit dem Verfremdungseffekt, sodass wir plötzlich unsere Verhältnisse, die schrittweise immer autoritärer werden, in diesem Film erkennen können. Die Freiheit schwindet, wo die ökonomische Unabhängigkeit angetastet wird. „Gelbe Briefe“ bleibt bewusst uneindeutig und wird dadurch grundsätzlich. Mehr dazu von Wolfgang M.

“If the King Attacks the Persians, He Will Destroy a Great Empire,” (ha! “it will be yours” quips Delphic Oracle) Offering this essential book in our Fund Drive, as a reciprocal blessing for pledging www.kpfa.org Spookily pertinent to now! Replaying portions of Caroline's March 13, 2008 interview — Where there is Mars – Let there be Venus! May Americans know history!   Caroline welcomes Stephen Kinzer, whose splendid book, “All the Shah's Men,” just out in paperback, and including an urgent hyper-pertinent preface, “The Folly of Attacking Iran,” is a book truly that all Americans (certainly candidates) should read. Delineating not only the 1953 American coup that overthrew the democratically elected Mohammed Mossadegh, and installed the Shah, this book provides us with Venus, historically informed reverent intimacy with a rich culture, whom we all would do well to understand and ally with its long desire to have truly just leadership. Stephen Kinzer is an award-winning foreign correspondent who has worked in more than fifty countries. He has been New York Times bureau chief in Istanbul, Berlin, and Managua. His books include “Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq.”   And weaving clips from Omid Safi, allying with the rich traditions of Iranian culture, inter-woven with the guiding astro*animism of now ….

Beyond Europe's traditional "Big Five" lies a footballing landscape that defies conventional financial logic. In this episode, we dive into the secret sauce of Istanbul's heavyweights, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, to understand how they consistently lure global icons to the banks of the Bosphorus. From the intimidating "hell" of RAMS Park to the tactical reinvention of stars like Victor Osimhen and Talisca, we explore the powerful trifecta of unmatched fan devotion, heavy-hitting corporate sponsorships, and a culture of prestige that offers players a second life. It's a masterclass in how identity and atmosphere can compete with the world's richest leagues, proving that in Istanbul, passion is the ultimate currency. Galatasaray vs Fenerbahçe, Turkish Süper Lig transfers, Victor Osimhen, Istanbul football atmosphere, European football finance.

When Jesus told His disciples He was leaving, they were terrified. But He told them something unexpected — it was actually better that He go away. Because when He left, He would send the Helper, the Holy Spirit, who would be with all of them, all the time.In this session, Pastor Mark Medley explores who the Holy Spirit is and what He actively does in the life of a believer. Through a vivid story of being stranded alone in Istanbul with no guide, no language, and no plan, Pastor Mark paints a picture of exactly why we need the Holy Spirit — and how good it is to have Him.You'll learn how the Spirit guides us into truth in a confusing world, helps us in prayer when we don't know what to say, comforts us in grief, convicts us of sin while always offering a way out, and leads us into the very thing we were created for — glorifying God. Pastor Mark also draws an important distinction between condemnation and conviction, and why knowing the difference can change how you relate to God every day.The session closes with a powerful survey of the Spirit's active work throughout Scripture — from regeneration to gifting to freedom — showing that a life lived with the Holy Spirit isn't the exception. It's normal Christianity.This is part of the Foundations class at Trinity Community Church, taught by Pastor Kelly Kinder and Pastor Mark Medley.We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

Following the UEFA Champions League draw in Nyon, the Reds have been paired with Turkish champions Galatasaray in the Round of 16—a tie that carries plenty of history and a trip to the intimidating atmosphere of Istanbul. But the path doesn't get any easier; should Arne Slot's men progress, they are on a collision course with Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals. The lads break down the "nightmare" side of the bracket and discuss whether this is the toughest possible route to the final in Budapest. Also on the agenda is a look ahead to Saturday's 3pm kick-off at Anfield against West Ham United. Can Liverpool keep the pressure on the top four against a Hammers side fighting for survival? With injuries still lingering, who makes the cut? The panel debates the midfield balance and the frontline.

We got our first taste of Europa and Conference League knockouts in 2026 and we're here to break down all the action. Nottingham Forest won the day with a dominant display in Istanbul in Vitor Pereira's first match in charge, re-staking their claim as a tournament favorite. Stuttgart, Celta, and Bologna also came through with big road wins to take control of their ties, and we take stock of each's chances moving forward. Meanwhile, Lille put themselves in a major hole against Red Star to cap off a disastrous run in the new year – why can't they score? Next, we turn to the Conference League, where Fiorentina put in an excellent 2nd half performance in Bialystok to boost confidence. Is this finally the start of a turnaround for the relegation-threatened Viola? We also address Crystal Palace's strife after a putrid draw in Bosnia & Herzegovina, wonder at AZ's ugly road form in the competition, and marvel at Celje's striker factory. Finally, we give an update on the Women's Europa Cup , that saw Frankfurt, Häcken, Hammarby, and Sparta qualify for the tournament's inaugural semifinals. Cheers to Igor Štimac!

rWotD Episode 3221: Murder of Ibrahim Oktugan Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Friday, 27 February 2026, is Murder of Ibrahim Oktugan.On 7 May 2024, Ibrahim Oktugan, a 74-year-old Principal of a private high school in Istanbul's Eyüpsultan district, was fatally shot by a former student identified as Yousif K., a 17-year-old of Iraqi origin who held Turkish citizenship. The suspect had been expelled from the school approximately five months earlier due to disciplinary issues. On the day of the attack, he returned to the school, entered Oktugan's office, and shot him five times. Oktugan was transported to hospital but died from his injuries despite emergency medical treatment.School officials stated that Oktugan had expelled the suspect following repeated behavioral problems, which were cited as the motive for the murder. Kadriye Deveci, a teacher at the school, described the student as "very problematic" in an interview with Rawin, stating that Oktugan believed that the student was "not a good example" and was frequently disrespectful toward teachers. Deveci added that the family had attempted to contest the expulsion, but school authorities ultimately decided they could no longer tolerate the student’s conduct. Following the killing, family members, colleagues, and students gathered to protested the murder, calling on authorities to take stronger measures to protect educators and address violence within the education sector.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:04 UTC on Friday, 27 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Murder of Ibrahim Oktugan on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Geraint.

In this episode of The Everything ECE Podcast, Carla Ward dives into an important conversation about screen use during mealtimes in early childhood programs.While screens may make mealtime feel calmer or more compliant, research shows they may interfere with children's ability to self-regulate, recognize hunger and fullness cues, build social skills, and develop healthy eating habits.Carla shares:What research says about eating during TV viewingWhy self-regulation starts at the tableHow screen-linked eating patterns can shape long-term habitsWhy mealtime is one of our most powerful social learning opportunitiesAnd why compliance should never replace developmentThis episode is not about judgment. It's about reflection. Because lunch and snack time aren't just about calories. They are opportunities for connection, conversation, and growth.If we want children who can sit across from someone, engage in meaningful dialogue, and listen to their bodies, it starts now.Let's protect the table.RESEARCH SHARED IN THIS EPISODEEffect of Television Viewing at Mealtime on Food Intake After a Glucose Preload in Boyshttps://www.nature.com/articles/pr2007158Does Eating during Television Viewing Affect Preschool Children's Intake?https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2596580/Screen Time Vs Meal Time: How Screens Are Shaping Your Child's Eating Habitshttps://www.ndtv.com/health/screen-time-vs-meal-time-how-screens-are-shaping-your-childs-eating-habits-9564525Examination of the Life Habits of Preschool Children Based on Their Screen Use Patternshttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11276093/Television viewing and using screens while eating: associations with dietary intake in children and adolescentshttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8671257/Mealtime TV Use Is Associated with Higher Discretionary Food Intakes in Young Australian Children: A Two-Year Prospective Studyhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9268203/Technological Devices and Their Effect on Preschool Children's Eating Habits in Communities of Mixed Socioeconomic Status in Istanbul; a Pilot Cross-Sectional Studyhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8614987/SUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review.

De Oekraïense oorlogswinter mag dan eindelijk op z'n eind lopen, de gevolgen van de Russische bombardementen op het energiesysteem laten zich steeds nadrukkelijker gelden. Er is niet of nauwelijks stroom en verwarming.  De reparateurs blijven druk met het repareren van de schade, ook omdat de Russen blijven bombarderen. Nu de temperatuur stijgt, blijken veel leidingen dat ook nog eens niet aan te kunnen. Onze verslaggever Michiel Driebergen bezocht een boekhandel die plotseling onder water stond. (10:40) Europese burgemeesters vóór Turkse democratie Vandaag protesteren Europese burgemeesters in Istanbul voor de vrijlating van Ekrem Imamoglu. De burgemeester van Istanbul wordt gezien als de grote rivaal van president Erdogan en zit al bijna een jaar vast op verdenking van corruptie. Volgens critici gaat het om een politiek gemotiveerde zaak en dreigt Turkije af te glijden in een autocratie.

Mentre i roghi infiammano le piazze e l'Inquisizione dilaga, due giovani orfani, Michel e Jeanne, crescono in un istituto dove l'abuso di potere e dei corpi viene mascherato da obbedienza. Forti del legame indissolubile che li unisce, fuggono dalla città per inseguire libertà e conoscenza. Lui diventa medico e allievo di Andrea Vesalio, il genio che osa sfidare i dogmi sezionando i corpi alla ricerca della verità. Lei, disegnatrice segreta, trova la luce del progresso nella forza misteriosa dell'arte. A Venezia, intanto, l'ombra dell'Inquisizione si fa sempre più minacciosa. Padre Bartolomeo Spina, ossessionato dal male e da una strega che lo ha maledetto, scatena contro i due giovani una caccia senza tregua per raggiungere Vesalio. Tra intrighi, colpi di scena e tradimenti, la fuga di Michel e Jeanne diventa un viaggio vertiginoso attraverso il cuore feroce dell'Europa, dove ogni scoperta può diventare un'accusa di eresia e la ragione è l'unico atto di resistenza possibile. Dopo il grande successo de Il medico di Istanbul, Francesca Thellung di Courtelary scrive un altro grande romanzo sul potere, la paura e la libertà. Un affresco potente di passione e coraggio, in cui la vera stregoneria è la luce che resiste alle fiamme dell'oscurantismo.Francesca Thellung di CourtelaryNata a Roma nel 1962, si laurea in Storia della Lingua italiana con il professor Luca Serianni alla Sapienza Università di Roma, e insegna materie umanistiche al liceo.

It's been one month since I moved to Kazakhstan, and in this episode I'm sharing what life in Almaty has really been like so far. I start with a broad overview of Kazakhstan — the ninth largest country in the world and the largest landlocked country, located in Central Asia — before diving into the personal side of relocating here. From a chaotic travel day and an unexpected overnight in Istanbul, to apartment hunting, navigating bureaucracy, adjusting to a ten-hour time difference, and beginning boxing lessons entirely in Russian, this episode captures the reality of settling into a new country.

A car has $8,660 worth of parking tix on the windshield...a soccer match in Istanbul was paused so a goalie could give a seagull mouth to mouth...and a man is going to jail on animal cruelty charges for serving alcohol to a hawk!

In this episode, we dive into the seismic shifts happening in industrial AI, from the so-called 'SaaS-mageddon' disrupting established software models to the rise of AI-powered agents that promise to redefine productivity. We share first-hand insights on how large language models and open-source projects are reshaping the landscape, and what this means for the future of industry solutions. We then turn to the frontier of pharmaceutical innovation with Stanisław Jastrzębski, CTO & Co-Founder from molecule.one, who reveals how deep learning, automation, and custom data are accelerating drug discovery. Join us as we connect the dots between industrial AI trends, the evolution of personal assistants, and the chemistry breakthroughs powering tomorrow's medicines. Tune in for a global perspective and a dash of inspiration straight from the heart of Istanbul.

Chef and restaurateur Somer Sivrioğlu has always cooked between cultures, and right now, he’s doing it louder than ever. From opening Hamsi Taverna at the iconic Sydney Fish Market to judging 200 episodes a year on MasterChef Turkey, Somer is redefining what modern Turkish cuisine looks like across continents. In this episode, we unpack: The vision behind Hamsi and bringing Aegean seafood culture to Sydney Why charcoal and line-caught mackerel matter How he helped shift Australia’s perception of Turkish food beyond kebabs The vegetable-forward traditions of the northern Aegean Why meat in Turkish homes is often used as flavouring, not a centrepiece The evolution of Turkish restaurants in Australia The pressure and privilege of shaping a nation’s food conversation on television in Turkey What it really takes to run restaurants between Istanbul and Sydney When Somer opened Efendy in 2007, diners questioned whether Turkish cuisine belonged in a refined dining room. Today, through venues like Anason (meze bar at Barangaroo), Maydanoz (vegetable-driven Turkish cuisine), Hamsi (seafood-focused Mediterranean concept) and Efendy in Istanbul, he’s helped reshape the narrative. This is a conversation about identity, technique, tradition, and evolution and chefs who build bridges (not just menus). Subscribe for more interviews with industry leaders and changemakers.

European Nights returns as Rog and Rory Smith look ahead to the second legs of the Champions League knockout playoff round. They begin in Lisbon, where alleged racist abuse directed at Vinícius Júnior during Real Madrid's game against Benfica led to a stoppage and sparks a wider conversation about accountability, institutional response, and whether football is doing enough to protect its players. Then it's on to Istanbul, where Galatasaray's emphatic win over Juventus spotlights Turkish spending power and deepens concerns about the broader state of Italian football. Finally, they turn to the Europa Conference League, where Crystal Palace were held to a draw by HŠK Zrinjski Mostar and Oliver Glasner's call for fans to “stay humble” becomes part of the conversation after the first leg. Plus, Rory delivers his latest continental culinary recommendation from Istanbul.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

THE SPY IN WHITE takes listeners back to 1936 and into the shadowy streets of Istanbul. In this episode of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, we decode one of the genre's earliest foundations: THE SPY IN WHITE.  Long before gadgets and explosions defined espionage cinema, suspense came from conversation and suspicion.  This classic thriller stars Valerie Hobson and James Mason in a tense story of loyalty, romance, and deception.  Their characters navigate political unrest, hidden allegiances, and emotional manipulation. Every meeting carries a risk. Every relationship hides a motive.  We explore how the film portrays espionage as a procedure rather than a spectacle.  How messages matter more than gunfire. And how timing matters more than action. The result is a quiet tension that shapes future spy storytelling.  The episode also examines its surprising influence on later classics. You'll hear clear connections to FROM RUSSIA WITH Love and DR. NO.  We even trace structural similarities to THE 39 STEPS and the grounded Cold War tone later seen in THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD.  This discussion breaks down why the movie still matters today.   It introduced emotional vulnerability as a spy weakness.    It framed romance as operational danger.   Normalized civilians are trapped inside intelligence conflicts.    And it proved that atmosphere can replace action.  If you enjoy classic cinema, James Bond history, or spy storytelling evolution, then this episode is for you.  It reveals a missing chapter of the genre's DNA.  In this episode you'll learn:  How THE SPY IN WHITE helped define realistic espionage storytelling  Why romance became a liability in spy narratives  The early blueprint for morally ambiguous agents  Connections to Bond films and Hitchcock thrillers  The film's role in shaping wartime British spy cinema   Tell us what you think about our decoding of the 1936 movie THE SPY IN WHITE  Have you seen this movie yet?  If not, did listening to this episode make you want to watch it?  If you have seen it, where do Dan and Tom get it right, and where do they get it wrong?  Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you think of this episode. Just drop us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.  The more we hear from you, the better the show will surely be!  We'll give you a shout-out in a future episode!     You can check out all our CRACKING THE CODE OF SPY MOVIES podcast episodes on your favorite podcast app or our website.

For Exclusive Content Join FFTV Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ForestFanTV The Europa League magic returns to the City Ground as Nottingham Forest look to secure their place in the next round! After that incredible 3-0 "Turkish Delight" victory in Istanbul, Vítor Pereira's men hold a massive advantage heading into this second leg. Wolfie is back to break down all the tactical talking points, from the atmosphere building by the Trent to the pressure on Fenerbahçe to overturn a mountain. We've done the hard work away from home, but as we know with Forest, the job isn't finished until the final whistle blows. With a heavy schedule and a crucial run of Premier League fixtures ahead, all eyes are on the team sheet. Will Vítor Pereira use this 3-0 cushion to rotate the squad and give some key men a rest? We're looking at the potential for Dilane Bakwa and James McAtee to jump into the starting XI and provide that creative spark. The big question for the panel and the fans is the defense—with a three-goal lead, is it worth risking the likes of Murillo and Nikola Milenković, or should we wrap our star center-backs in cotton wool and give the fringe players a chance to prove their worth? We want to hear your predicted lineups and score predictions in the comments below! Should Pereira go full strength to kill the tie early, or is this the perfect opportunity to see what the squad depth is really made of?

Episode Description: “Which city would you choose if Austin could offer a nonstop flight anywhere in the world?” ✈️ That's the question fueling this episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where travel dreams, quirky stories, and international rivalries take center stage.

Historian Faisal Husain wrote the book "Rivers of the Sultan: The Tigris and Euphrates in the Ottoman Empire" and in this episode, helps us explore the history of the Tigris and Euphrates. He argued for the necessity of understanding human history within the context of geological time, discussing the rivers' origins roughly 20 million years ago, tracing their influence on civilization from the "agricultural revolution" (which some scholars argue was a mistake leading to health issues) to the rise of early urban centers like the Sumerian cities. The conversation highlights the difference between the gentle Euphrates, which attracted early settlements, and the fast and unpredictable Tigris. Shifting to the Ottoman era, Husain examines the environmental challenges of Ottoman Iraq, which was poor in essential resources like grain, metal, and wood suited for construction, and details the extraordinary story of the Euphrates river changing its course in the late 1600s due to a poorly dug irrigation canal. He emphasizes the cultural importance of the palm tree and the vital role of water buffaloes, which made life possible for a quarter of the Iraqi population in the wetlands, whose fate would have otherwise been migration to seek resources and refuge elsewhere. 0:00 Introduction1:47 When Did the Tigris and Euphrates Start?3:04 The Importance of Deep History5:49 Geological Origins: 20 Million Years Ago7:37 When the Rivers Began to Matter to Homo Sapiens10:40 The Rationale for Writing Deep History12:00 Starting Middle East History Before 6th Century Arabia14:45 The Difference Between the Twin Rivers17:05 Why Sumerian Civilization Clustered on the Euphrates20:36 Questioning the Agricultural Revolution23:16 How Agriculture Began: Trial and Error27:00 The Consequences of Taming Nature30:40 The Ottoman Conquest of Iraq32:20 Why Iraq Was Environmentally Poor for a Major Power36:06 Iraq's Default Status Under Iranian States38:25 Baghdad in the 16th Century42:25 The Euphrates Shifts Course (Late 1600s)47:09 Water Buffaloes: The Essential Technology of the Wetlands49:28 Ranking the Most Important Crops51:03 Evliya Çelebi: The Traveler54:49 Ottoman vs. European Traveler Perspectives58:35 The Book Cover: Baghdad on the Tigris Faisal Husain is an environmental historian of the Ottoman Empire, with a geographical focus on its eastern provinces in Anatolia and Iraq and a temporal focus on the early modern period. His first book "Rivers of the Sultan" examined the role of the Tigris and Euphrates in the establishment of Ottoman state institutions in the Ottoman eastern borderland between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. His second book project is an environmental history of Ottoman frontier expansion east of the Euphrates during the sixteenth century. He is co-editing a book on the global histories of animals (under contract with Oxford University Press) with Emily Wakild (Boise State University) and Nancy Jacobs (Brown University). In 2024-2025, he served as a senior lecturer at Boğaziçi University's Department of History in Istanbul through the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program. He serves on several editorial boards, including those of Marmara Türkiyat Araştırmaları Dergisi (Marmara University), Global Environment (White Horse Press), and the “Middle East Environmental Histories” book series (Leiden University Press).

Show Notes: Elijah Siegler recalls the day of graduation on June 5, 1992, and the prominent promotion of the movie Patriot Games, which seemed at the time an ominous omen, as graduates began to navigate their post-grad journey. Elijah shares his advice to his kids and students: "You don't need to have your whole life post-college figured out. You just need one cool thing lined up, and that'll lead to another cool thing." Elijah describes his first post-graduation job as the editor of the Greece and Turkey book for Let's Go travel guides, which he found out about due to a last-minute cancellation. A Ticket to Israel and Traveling Adventures Elijah had previously been a researcher for Let's Go Pacific Northwest in the summer of 1989. After graduation, Elijah moved back to his parents' house in Toronto, Canada, and spent time reading and applying for jobs. Elijah cashed in his graduation gift from his grandparents, a ticket to Israel, and spent six months in the Middle East, including a solo tour of the Mediterranean. Elijah used his own guidebook for the Greece and Turkey parts of his trip and mentions Gary Bass, a classmate who edited Let's Go Israel and Egypt. Exploring the Middle East Elijah enjoyed both Greece and Turkey, finding Turkey to be one of the great travel destinations of the world. He highlights the unique experiences in Istanbul and Cappadocia, including staying in cave hotels and visiting a center for Sufi culture. Elijah reflects on his visit to Syria, noting the cultural richness and the sadness of seeing the country torn apart by civil war. Elijah moved back to Toronto, spent time with family, and eventually found a job in the non-profit sector in New York. Taking a Slow Boat to China Elijah describes his temporary job in New York, living in a basement in Chelsea, and the cultural experience of living in New York City. He recounts his decision to travel to Asia, including a trip to Japan, where he received a telegram about a job in China. Elijah took a slow boat to China from Kobe to Shanghai and then trains to Chengdu, where he taught English for nine months. He shares his experiences in Chengdu, including teaching and traveling around China, and his interest in Taoism. Opening the Door to the World's Parliament of Religions Elijah attended the World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago in the fall of 1993, which marked the 100th anniversary of the original event in 1893. He volunteered at the event, met various religious leaders, and was inspired to study religion academically. Elijah decided to pursue a graduate degree in religious studies, applying to various programs and eventually enrolling at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He describes the rigorous Religious Studies Program at UCSB and his initial research on Taoism in America. A Focus on Taoism Elijah explains the concept of Taoism, the indigenous religion of China, and its focus on the Tao, a non-personal divine force. He discusses the transmission of Taoist ideas to America through popular culture, such as the TV show Kung Fu and the book The Tao of Pooh. Elijah interviewed Chinese Taoist masters who came to America and taught Taoist techniques, such as martial arts and meditation. He completed his PhD on Taoism in America and began his academic career, moving from assistant to associate to full professor. The Americanization of Taoism Elijah contrasts Taoism with Buddhism, noting that Taoism does not have a missionary impulse and is spread indirectly through practices like martial arts. He discusses the Americanization of Taoism and the role of popular culture in shaping American Taoism. Elijah shares his research on the authenticity of Taoist masters in America and the concerns within the American Taoist community about who is a genuine master. He mentions the organizational structure of Taoism in China and the challenges of defining authenticity in American Taoism. Religion and Television Elijah discusses his research on religion and television, contrasting it with the study of religion and film. He argues that television's open narrative format allows for the exploration of religious change over time. Elijah highlights the religious themes in popular TV shows and how they reflect and shape American spirituality. He plans to publish a book on his theory of religion and television combining his previous essays on the topic. A Spiritual Journey Elijah shares his personal spiritual journey, growing up in a secular Jewish household and raising his children as Jewish. He expresses a strong affinity for Taoism but does not call himself a Taoist due to the formal initiation required in Taoist traditions. Elijah teaches a class on spirituality, exploring the rise of "spiritual but not religious" individuals and the history of spirituality in America. He emphasizes the importance of interfaith dialogue and understanding different religious traditions, both in his teaching and in his community involvement. Promoting Interfaith Understanding Elijah describes his involvement in the Charleston Interfaith Council, organizing cultural and educational programming to promote interfaith understanding. He organized a  Jewish Muslim Dinner in 2017, bringing together Jewish and Muslim communities for a shared meal and conversation, which has evolved into the Spirited Brunch, a self-guided tour of different sacred spaces in Charleston with snacks, promoting interfaith dialogue and cultural exchange. He encourages others to replicate these initiatives in their own communities, emphasizing the importance of interfaith connections and understanding. Harvard Reflections Elijah  was in the comparative study of religion that was drawn from other departments in the Divinity School, and he mentions professor Diana Eck, who was the chair of that committee on the comparative study of religion. She started something called the pluralism project in 1991 and that summer, Elijah was in the first cohort of student employees for that so I actually got paid to go to Los Angeles and study religious diversity there and inter religious dialog, and in particular, Buddhism.  Timestamps: 01:30 Initial Career Steps and Travel Experiences  04:06: Exploring Greece, Turkey, and Syria  09:03: Moving to New York and Asia  12:10: Attending the World's Parliament of Religions  15:21: Research on Taoism in America  17:31: Taoism in America and Its Cultural Impact  28:59: Religion and Television 31:49: Personal Spiritual Journey and Teaching  39:29: Interfaith Initiatives in Charleston  Links: Faculty Bio: https://charleston.edu/religious-studies/faculty-staff/siegler-elijah.php Spirited Brunch: https://thefoodsection.com/spirited-brunch-101/ The Musical: https://www.happylandmusical.com/ Featured Nonprofit: The featured nonprofit of this week's is brought to you by Tobey Collins who reports:  "Hi.

Calling in from Istanbul, Bradley opens with impressions of a historically rich but complicated city — ancient cisterns, street cats, a shady taxi driver, and bomb-proof doors on a synagogue. Earlier, when he was in Madrid, Bradley took Abby to visit the Prado and the Thyssen, which got him thinking about the uncomfortable economics of museums: tens of billions in art, much of it in storage, underwriting tax breaks for wealthy donors while hungry people go unfed. How should we address these issues? The conversation turns to Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference, which Bradley reads as an early audition for 2028, contrasting Rubio's smooth "I'm my own person" approach with Vance's unconvincing Trump imitation. On whether Americans are actually angry at Europe, he is skeptical — ordinary people on both sides seem to like each other fine, he says, and manufactured grievance is just what demagogues do.This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City's only free podcast recording studio.Send us an email with your thoughts on today's episode: info@firewall.media.Be sure to watch Bradley's TED Talk on Mobile Voting at https://go.ted.com/bradleytusk.Subscribe to Bradley's weekly newsletter and follow Bradley on Linkedin + Substack + YouTube.
